Five Essential Steps to Improve Infection Prevention in Healthcare

health and safety write on a jigsaw puzzle piece

Infection prevention and control (IPAC) isn’t just about compliance—it’s about creating safer environments for patients, staff, and visitors. A strong health and safety framework reduces risks, prevents costly outbreaks, and builds confidence among stakeholders.

1. Start with Policy Reviews – Outdated protocols leave gaps. Annual reviews ensure your infection control plan meets current provincial standards.

2. Empower Staff Through Training – Frontline staff are the first line of defense. Regular, evidence-based education on hand hygiene, PPE, and outbreak response is essential.

3. Audit and Measure Performance – Data-driven audits of infection rates highlight risks before they become problems.

4. Strengthen Outbreak Response Plans – Clearly defined roles and step-by-step procedures reduce delays when every minute matters.

5. Leverage Physician-Led Expertise – A board-certified infectious diseases specialist provides both clinical insight and regulatory compliance strategies.

A proactive approach to health and safety means fewer risks, stronger compliance, and a safer culture overall. At Sterixa, we partner with healthcare leaders to deliver tailored, physician-led solutions that protect people and strengthen systems.
